I want to share my volunteer experience using my hobby (cycling) into Wikimedia projects, as taking images, researching places, visiting remote locations, which resulted into creation of the Veloexpeditions (=velo means bicycle) in Macedonia.
I would like to present that even our hobbies can turned into valuable opportunities for Wikipedia/Wikimedia, and thus although that day we are spending our free time doing something else, we can still contribute to our Wikimedia projects.
Promoting outdoor activities as essential to our projects, my research skills, and what that brings to Macedonian Wikipedia.

Apart from adding images on Commons, creating items on Wikidata, writing articles on Wikipedia, I use .gpx files from my bicycle rides to create new roads/paths on OpenStreetMaps.
